Although its expected working lifetime was two years, the satellite kept making ozone and other atmospheric measurements until its retirement in 2005. The satellite studied how Earth absorbed and radiated energy from the sun.<\/p>\n<p>The satellite got a special sendoff from Challenger. America&#8217;s first woman in space, Sally Ride, released the satellite into orbit using the shuttle&#8217;s robot arm. That same mission also featured the first spacewalk by a U.S. woman: Kathryn Sullivan. It was the first time two female astronauts flew in space together.<\/p>\n<p>It was the second and final spaceflight for Ride, who died in 2012.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                  \u00a9 2023 The Associated Press.
